The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

Chapter 230 Magical Girls Are All Good Kids

What are the duties of a magical girl?

"Protect your companions, protect others, protect your loved ones."

What is your obsession with becoming a magical girl?

"...to uphold this will to protect and to firmly resolve to safeguard others."

How well have you put this will into practice? Have you fulfilled the vows you once made?

silence.

A long silence followed.

"I have broken my promise and my vow."

"I rebuked my companions, I shirked my responsibilities, and my pride and complacency put both myself and my companions in danger."

"I... am no longer worthy to continue as a magical girl."

[...No]

Your story is far from over, and your future is vast.

Go back, your friends are still waiting for you, Magical Girl Green Ivy.

The girl woke up with a start.

……

The familiar ceiling.

The girl turned her head, glanced at the noisy alarm clock on her phone beside her pillow, let out a long sigh, reached out and turned it off, then lay in bed lost in thought.

The magical girl [Green Ivy], whose real name is Ye Yuxia, lies quietly on her bed in her bedroom.

Yesterday, I encountered Heart Moon Fox again.

He thought he could easily resolve the incident with the help of Bai Lili and the others, but he didn't expect to fall into Xin Yuehu's trap and get caught up in her strange rules and couldn't get out. He even had to ask others to rescue him.

And what Xin Yuehu said to her, and the behavior of her former captain Mai Sui...

As a magical girl, do you truly deserve the blessings of the stars?

Do you deserve the sacrifices they made?

This reminded Green Ivy of her little schemes when she and Hyacinth went their separate ways, which now seem quite naive.

As expected, I'm not really up to the responsibilities of being a team leader. Ye Yuxia thought to herself.

Violet and Edelweiss were brutally beaten up by Hellcat and are currently receiving treatment at the Hero Association Hospital. Given the physical abilities of magical girls, they should recover and be discharged soon.

But as the culprit who led them astray, she was lying at home in a daze as if nothing had happened, which made Ye Yuxia feel very uncomfortable and even a little scared.

How will they view themselves after being discharged from the hospital?

Just like how I ostracized Maisui back then, they are looking at me with strange eyes, even questioning and blaming me?

Thinking of this, Ye Yuxia covered her head with the blanket, huddled in the covers, and let the darkness engulf her.

.

"Ding-dong."

The doorbell rang.

After a brief silence, there was another knock on the door.

"Hello—is anyone home?"

"Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock!"

The loud knocking indicated that the person knocking was quite strong, but it was quickly interrupted by a series of noises.

"Xiao Feng, be quiet, don't disturb the neighbors."

"I'm already very light..."

"My turn!"

There was another knock on the door.

Ye Yuxia silently got up, walked out of the bedroom in her nightgown, and glanced at the apartment's main entrance.

"Who is it? Making so much noise on the weekend, can't a person get any sleep?"

The girl, wearing slippers, walked to the door, opened it sullenly, and called out to the outside.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Ye Yuxia froze and stared at the four people in front of the door.

Nan Xiaofeng, wearing a long-sleeved sweatshirt and tights, Hua Ling, who always wears glasses, Lin Muyao, who is wearing a winter dress, and Li Kexin, who is dressed in designer brands.

Ye Yuxia stared blankly at them, momentarily forgetting to open the door to welcome them.

"Good morning, Ms. Ye."

Hua Ling stepped forward and greeted Ye Yuxia.

"I am Karin, you can also call me... [Iris]."

.

The group sat on the sofa and stools in the living room. Nan Xiaofeng looked with great interest at the magical girl merchandise display case not far away. The case was filled with all kinds of figurines and related items, which gave a rough idea of ​​Ye Yuxia's family background.

But she couldn't compare to Miss Li Kexin, who reportedly spent money to commission manufacturers to make foil cards and laser ticket sets for almost all magical girls across the country. Her extravagance left Nan Xiaofeng speechless.

"I don't have many snacks at home, but I do have some drinks. What would you like to drink?"

"Juice!" "Cola!" "Do you have tea?"

The three members of Nan Xiaofeng each named a different drink, and then looked at each other.

Li Kexin remained silent, sitting upright on the sofa like a dignified young lady.

Ye Yuxia didn't understand why the others had suddenly come to find her.

Her address wasn't hard to find; it was registered with the Hero Association. But why did they contact her at this particular time?

Could it be that……

"This is probably the first time we've met like this."

Li Kexin suddenly spoke up.

Ye Yuxia, who had placed the drinks on the coffee table, paused for a moment, looked up and met Li Kexin's gaze, but then involuntarily looked away.

"Yes, it is indeed the first time."

"You two have never met in your true forms? Are you kidding me?" Nan Xiaofeng said with a surprised expression.

Li Kexin nodded with a wry smile.

Not only had they never met, but he had never even heard of Ye Yuxia's name before.

The Wheat Squad always regroups only when something happens, and then quickly goes home after the fight. They're nothing like the Hyacinth Squad, who can get together offline to go to anime conventions and buy merchandise.

"You came to see me specifically because of what happened last time?"

Ye Yuxia knew very well why Li Kexin had come to find her.

Not long ago, after an interception mission against the strange man ended, he shifted the blame for the destruction of the city onto her. In addition, Li Kexin was stubborn and left the Suicheng team after an unpleasant encounter.

But Mai Sui bravely came to rescue her from the Demon King's castle yesterday, completely disregarding her previous ostracism towards her.

This left Ye Yuxia deeply astonished and shocked.

"I really am the one who dragged her down," Ye Yuxia thought.

Once she left the Suicheng team, Li Kexin immediately became more cheerful and even made friends with Nan Xiaofeng very quickly.

But what about yourself?

Because of her blind self-confidence, not only Violet and Edelweiss, but also Lily and Hyacinth were dragged into it.

"You could say that, or you could say that it isn't."

Li Kexin smiled slightly.

"Yuxia, may I call you that? I heard it sounds more intimate."

"...Whatever you want."

Ye Yuxia wasn't quite used to this way of addressing her, but she still nodded.

"I don't really like all that beating around the bush, so I'll just say it straight."

"I will continue to be active in Chengdu for a while to learn how to fight against strong people like Xin Yuehu and Hellcat, but I will return to Suicheng soon to continue fighting against monsters."

"After what happened yesterday, I realized that I will always be a member of the Suicheng team. No matter where I am, you will always be my partners. If you encounter any danger, I will definitely come to your aid immediately."

Li Kexin stared intently at Ye Yuxia, who looked surprised.

"I learned a lot from Hyacinth and the others."

"Magical girls are born to protect."

"No matter what conflicts occurred in the past, we are friends who fought side by side, and we will always be partners."

"...And I also want to apologize to you."

After a pause, Li Kexin gave a wry smile.

"Actually... my initial motivation for becoming a magical girl was to make a close friend."

"I've never really known what I like, or what I want to do. Even after becoming a wheat stalk, I've always felt lost."

"I...I've always wanted to be friends with you, and with Edelweiss and Violet, um...I..."

The girl was a little shy, and quietly pinched the hem of her skirt, making a few wrinkles.

"Although I'm a little late, can we be friends, Yuxia?"

Ye Yuxia remained silent for a long time.

Before she could reply, Nan Xiaofeng's smiling face appeared between the two of them.

"Hehe, what's there to be shy about? Since we're friends, let's go out and have some fun together this rare weekend to celebrate our hard-won victory!"

"Xiao Feng, don't ruin the mood!"

The girls' laughter echoed in the living room, bringing smiles to Ye Yuxia and Li Kexin's faces.

The former partners exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.

I also want to apologize to you.

Ye Yuxia looked bitter and said,

"I shouldn't have shifted my responsibility onto you, because... because back then, I thought that if I just put all the blame on you, no one would blame me anymore... I'm sorry."

"It's alright, I understand. After all, our tactics are indeed..."

The two of them simultaneously recalled the title of "public works vandal" and gave an awkward, wry smile.

"Hey, speaking of which, don't you guys really want to go out and have fun together today?" Nan Xiaofeng suddenly interjected.

Li Kexin seriously considered the proposal and turned her gaze to Ye Yuxia, who was also thinking about it.

"……Oh well."

"Let's go visit Violet and the others today."

The girl spoke softly, as if she had made up her mind.
